Favorite Authors

     Of course like most writers I love to read. I mostly love the Supernatural/Horror/Thriller Genre. But I will always read anything that is put in front of me. My biggest fear in life is to loose my eyesight. Listening to books on tape would not be the same for me as holding a book in my hand and being able to turn the pages. I am not even fond of reading books electronically. I have to feel the book and I love the smell of the paper.
     I am also a book collector. I have almost every V.C. Andrews book written. I was really sad when she passed away but her family did a good job in keeping her writing going.
   My favorite author is Dean Koontz. His books and movies have inspired me to look outside the box. I also like to read Stephen King,  Michael McDowell, Peter Straub, and John Saul.
   Some of my earlier influences were Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe.  
 

My Author Bio

Hello Reader,

      I am a storyteller. But then again aren’t all authors. I remember being a story teller as far back as 10 years old. I used to make up stories for my cousins when we had sleepovers.     

     The Telescope Files is my first published novel. I had the story of a haunted telescope inside of my head for a few years and finally it’s out of my head.

     A lot of my friends have asked why I waited so long to publish anything. I did (sort of) publish some of my poetry before. I used to create web pages and I took that opportunity to direct my creativity into those, and I put some of my poetry on my website.  

      I have been writing Poetry, Plays, and Short Stories for years. I can’t even remember how old I was when I first started writing creatively. It seems as though I have been writing my whole life.  But the first time I was approached to actually publish some of my work I was in the 10^th grade. My English teacher read a short story I wrote and approached me and asked if she could send it in to a magazine. At that time I refused. I wasn’t confident enough of my writing at that time to take the plunge.

     Now that I am over 50 I am at that point of my life where I am confident enough to share my work with the rest of the world. Good or bad. If you read any of my work and think it was good (or bad) I would really love to hear from you.

Thank you,

Donna Cline
